Best Forgotten Realms books?

[FoxyPigeon]

I haven't read any of them as far as I know, and the only one's I have really heard about are the Drizzt ones, which I'm not interested in at the moment. So, what are some good ones or other recommendations to read? I guess I'd like some that expand or talk about the lore of FR, cuz I don't know too much about that either. Thanks!

I loved the Cleric Quintet (about Cadderly Bonaduce) and Spellfire.

[God In Action]

I've read The Best of the Realms and Mistress of the Night, and thoroughly enjoyed both. Check out The Priests series if you're interested in books about specific gods which interest you.

I highly recommend
The Prince of Lies
and
The Crucible: The Trial of Cyric the Mad

[Paramore]

Drizzit Saga

[Sazu]

Crucible is a good one, lords of stormweather, cormyr trilogy, erevis cale trilogies, house of serpents was good(one of my faves actually), and the Haunted lands

[P Three]

Oh, the Avatar series too. I loved those.

[Stath]

Servant of the Shard, Promise of the Witch King, Road of the Patriarch. Wrote by RA Salvatore.
Jarlaxle and Artemis Entrerei are god tier.

The fighters series: Bladesinger. Action, romance, racism, character arcs, awesome narrative, amazing writing you can turn into emotes. Read it 4 times now.

Inspired the creation of two of my characters: Sylwyn Gallyn and Tael'naer Colt

I'm rather partial to the Harpers series, by Elaine Cunningham. Really nice writing there - Daniello Thann and Elith Craulenbar (may be getting spelling wrong there) are particularly wonderful characters. I love the banter.

The Wyvern's Spur was a fun book. Part of the Finders Trilogy

[Kuma]

The Haunted Lands trilogy. That's literally it.

[PorcineAerodrome]

The Moonshae Trilogy was good IMO!
